The City Will Crumble

Thirteen-year-old Hayden Rogers doesn't have a problem. Her parents don't like how skinny she is, or the video games she plays, or her obsession with Tessa Taylor. But Hayden doesn't have a problem—it's her parents that have the problem.

If they paid attention, maybe they'd know why their daughter refused to eat, and why she needed to lose herself in virtual worlds. Then maybe they would have stopped her from entering the most haunted house in Savannah.

First, she hears the voice first. Perfection, he calls her. Then the demon comes to her in her sleep with visions of a life free of torment. Torn between insanity and acceptance, Hayden no longer knows what's real, what's inside her head, and what the truths are that her parents are trying to twist.

But one thing she knows to be true.

The demon understands her. He listens. He gives her power. And the demon is just one crumbling building away from stealing her soul forever.
